Feature Selection

The feature screen is where the user can select the components that will be installed on the machine. Here
is also where the serial number is entered. The serial number is critical to the installation process because
it contains information about which components are allowed to be installed based on the purchased component bundle.

If a trial license is being used, the serial number obtained during the trial download will allow one coordinator
and agent to be installed/activated. These components can be installed on the same machine or on different machines
as desired by the user.

The feature selection screen.

Once the serial number is entered, the users can select which features to install on the machine.
The Coordinator feature install will enable the machine to host the administration website that allows the management and
monitoring of the scheduler, while the Agent feature will enable the machine to run the jobs that are kicked off by the
Coordinator. Installing both components on a single machine can be advantageous in organizations that have a smaller job
footprint not requiring a distributed setup.

A Quick Side note about Licensing and Activation

The software license is tied to information gathered from the machine during installation. For this reason, it could
arise that hardware configuration changes made to a machine running the Taskmatics Scheduler may cause the system to
cease functioning due to a license mismatch. If this occurs, please contact a Taskmatics representative to have the license
file updated.
